Iodine to remove old scars?

I have old, flat white scars in the bicep and tricep area and have been wanting them gone for years so I can feel comfortable not wearing a shirt.

The scars are about 6 years old. I read about how Iodine can regenerate scar tissue and tried it on a couple scars. Things got worse because it started burning my skin after continual use (which I read was normal), and left a red burn over the scars where I painted the iodine, making my scars more noticeable. I was extremely upset but thankfully the redness isn't very noticeable now after a few months.

I'm still curious to know how I can use Iodine to remove this white scar tissue. If anyone can help me out with this I'd really appreciate it. Tweet
